Finally Event 4 Results:







Some drama came in event 4, this time unfortunately it was the RoadRunners Civic that fell foul.  The car was very quick around the track but then came to a very loud and abrupt halt. First thought was that the guide had caught something in the track, the race was paused and investigations were made with nothing obvious found. The race continued and a couple of laps later it happened again. Another pause, more investigating. In the end the general consensus was that, under load, the screws for the motor pod were pushed downward enough to catch on the rail joint. Tape was applied over the screw heads which appeared to solve the issue and the car was back on form; but obviously the time lost from the incidents hampered its finishing position.

My dog of a BMW M4 is not a great handling car I have discovered, but it's overall pace was just enough to get in onto the last step.  It completed the same distance as Tatter's Honda Civic, so the back-up of fastest lap time was used to determine the final positions between the two.

I wonder if the suspension has come apart on the Honda Civic, although normally the suspension screws would have fallen out if the restraining nuts had came off.
